Seaham Harbour Dock Company

Seaham Harbour in County Durham handles ships of up to 8,000 tonnes, with a maximum beam of 17m, length up to 120m and draft up to 7.0m.

With 900m of quay frontage, this port facility can receive, store and distribute a broad range of commodities.

It has 30,582 square metres (approximately 7.5 acres) of covered warehousing, and 8,000 square metres of purpose-built segregated open storage.

This port facility has excellent road and rail connections. Victoria Group Transport is based at Seaham . A new three-lane road directly links the site to the A19, providing good access to the North East of England and the M62 corridor. From the port facility, our own 400m rail siding links directly into the main line.

All Victoria Group Ports are inventory-linked ports (ILPS). Meaning direct access to HMRC customs control systems. This allows for quick electronic clearance of goods when they arrive at the port. Victoria Group has invested significantly in our own in-house bespoke software – Agency, Port Management and Transport System (APMTS). It facilitates secure EDI (Electronic Data Interface) between warehousing, customers and end users – effectively providing a safe interface not only between the Group and its customers, but also between our customers and their own customers.
